On a positive note, the airshow is free (mainly because the show happens in the air, and so it's virtually impossible to charge an entry fee)
On a negative note, parking restrictions have been placed on all roads within 1.5 to 2 miles of the seafront - making them all effectively "no parking" zones for the duration of the event. This means that if you will be visiting by car, you'll end up paying for car parking (currently at £25 per day).
Still not a bad price for a family of 4, but be sure to factor this parking cost into the equation.
Also, if you have friends who live near the seafront area, it may be worth contacting them to see if you can park at their places off-road and save on parking fees.
